Created by Robert Kirkman (and artists Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley), Invincible revolves around 17-year-old Mark Grayson who learns that he has inherited incredible powers from his superhero alien father, Omni-Man. The comic series ran for 144 issues from 2003 to 2018, with many spinoffs and its own cohesive shared universe.

I’ll be discussing heavy spoilers so if you haven’t seen it or want to avoid spoilers, now’s your chance to stop reading.

Invincible Spider-Man Cameo, Sort Of

Since Amazon Prime Video and Robert Kirkman can’t get the rights to Spider-Man, they referenced the iconic Invincible Spider-Man team-up from the comics with this. In the comics, one of Angstrom Levy’s portals leads Invincible to enter the Marvel Universe.

It’s nice that the Prime Video animated series can still do that reference without the rights, albeit indirectly.

Firstly, this Agent Spider is clearly meant to reference Spider-Man, and the villain he’s fighting is clearly meant to reference Doctor Octopus AKA Doc Ock AKA Dr. Otto Octavius.

But there’s also the fact that Josh Keaton voices this Agent Spider, and Josh Keaton is best known for voicing Spider-Man in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series.

The Invincible Spider-Man team-up originally happened in Marvel Team-Up Vol. 3 Issue #14 published in 2005.

Invincible Meets Batman

This also happened in the comics (Invincible Issue #33).

If you’re wondering about how he had the same conversation today, it’s with the Avengers in the Spider-Man team-up comic. He was referring to this:

The Name Of The Episode Comes Verbatim From A Line In The Comics After Mark Kills Angstrom Levy

More trauma for Mark.

Dupli-Kate Is Still Alive

One copy of her still lives.

They Adapted This Iconic Moment Too

Yep, Nolan’s road to redemption begins now.

There you have it, folks.

That’s the end of Invincible Season 2.

Invincible is already renewed for Season 3, but we still don’t have a release date at the time of writing.

Until the, excelsior!
